i will admit i truly enjoyed the movie i laughed i felt rushes of action and adventure there was so much going on and i loved it but i personally didnt like the profanity of the movie all together too much profanity for a family movie and too much sexual comments which i found hilarious myself but not for a family

It was chilling and twisted! Definitely what I was looking for, Riley delivered and delivered well. The twists and turns kept coming - I felt like I was in a maze and each time I thought I knew how it was going to end, I'd run into a wall, only to be lead down another corridor of questions and suspicions. I felt Final Girls was brilliant and completely unexpected. So glad I chose to pick it up!

"And then for something light and fluffy I would have to say Trading Places (laughing). Hilarious. Light, and fun, and hilarious, and a lot of laughs. I had to throw one comedy in there. I remember the first time I saw it — I don’t remember exactly where I was; I was young — I think the first time I saw Trading Places I was 15 years old, 16 years old, something like that. Eddie Murphy was just in his comedic prime; I think he came off Saturday Night Live not long before that. It’s absolutely a great premise and really funny, really enjoyable. I just loved it."

Not my usual read but I heard about it through a number of people so I thought I would give it a go. It was well written, funny with good plot twists. The characters were believeable and I felt great empathy with them. My only criticism is that the ending seemed a little rushed but perhaps that is because I was enjoying the book so much

I saw this movie originally in the theaters and I walked out so mad. As a fan of the games I was extremely upset that not one main character from the game was in it. After learning that there were reasons behind capcom s decision on that now I look at the movie as more of a prequel. I think the best of the movie series is two but this one as good as a prequel
  
I was surpised in the way this was set up. Though I am not all for it. It was good. There some things that is relates to romance. I would not to be hard on the rating. I think it a four star rating. It could have been more of a plot. It does have some mystery to it. It is a good book. I enjoyed it. The way she lost her husband was something new.

I was quite bored by this story. I am not the biggest fan of the religious themes that this book is full of. It felt very repetitive after a while. There were a lot of issues of confusion in the story. There were many times where I got lost whether it was actually a dream or not in the specific moments.

I don't really have much to say about it since I didn't enjoy it much.

I really wanted to like this book. It sounded like it would be good, the story sounds very interesting. However, I just couldn't look past how annoyingly it was written. I read a lot of YA novels because I am a middle school teacher, but this was definitely one of the worst. I couldn't get more than halfway through.

Once again, I have mixed feelings about a book. While this one was well written and the solution to the mystery not easily guessed, I felt the characters weren't particularly likeable. Unfortunately, that included the detectives. The ending also seemed a bit unresolved, which I know is realistic, but I prefer my fiction to be wrapped up a little tidier. Overall, I liked this book, but I'm not rushing out to pick up more of the author's work.

I loved Parasite way more than I was expecting to. It was unique. A breath of fresh air compared to everything else that's out now. I thought it was part horror, but I guess it wasn't. Violent, yes. However, it was also a well-woven story that had a lot of smart humor in it. I really enjoyed it, and can definitely see how it won so many Oscars this year. It's definitely worth your while to watch.
